When selling a home in Dallas, you can count on a buyer to have it inspected during the Option Period. Here are a my top 6 quick and easy tips for getting your property ready for an inspection. These same items tend to appear on a lot of inspection reports. You really ought to go ahead and do them now - regardless of an impending inspection.
1. Replace your air filters. Dirty filters tell buyers that you don't maintain the heat/ac system. Then they wonder what else you haven't maintained.
2. Replace the refrigerant line insulation on your outside air conditioner. Pipe insulation is a gray foam kind of tube you can get at Lowes or Home Depot. It is cheap and helps keep the cold air cold as it enters your house. Our Texas weather causes this insulation to deteriorate after a few years, so replace it when it shows signs of cracking or falling off.
3. While you're at it, clean the outside compressor. Clear away any vines, leaves, etc. and hose off the coils. You don't need any special tools, just a garden hose.
4. Trim away any shrubs, trees or vines touching the house. They can damage the house ( especially the roof) and allow insects easier access. The inspector will note it, so trim.
